I did research the radish tops but not the carrot tops. I found a recipe in a

veg cookbook using them and they tasted horrible to me and I'm not picky.

I know rhubarb tops are toxic.

I have seen write ups claiming they are mildly toxic (carrot tops) so

I stay away from them. I am not saying that they are, I have seen

contradictory information and it is difficult for me to figure who is

right, I have not searched in the scientific journals (the ones I

would believe, sort of...). This is why I asked about radish tops,

just to make sure they are not toxic as well.
